I'm trying to get all the organization elements in this XML document.
The XML document is a bit like this (heavily simplified) example:
<manifest>
<organizations>
<organization></organization>
</organizations>
</manifest>
I used this code to get at the organizations:
xmlDoc* doc = WholeRoot->doc;
xmlChar* xpathExpr = (xmlChar*)"/manifest/organizations/organization";
xmlXPathContext* xpathCtx = xmlXPathNewContext(doc);
RT_Assert( xpathCtx, "Unable to create new XPath context." );
xmlXPathObject* xpathObj = xmlXPathEvalExpression(xpathExpr, xpathCtx);
RT_Assert( xpathObj, "Unable to evaluate xpath expression." );
RT_Assert( xpathObj->nodesetval, "No organizations found!." );
What happens, is that I get "No organizations found". Despite that
the document really does contain elements at the path "/manifest/
organizations/organization" !
Is it:
1) My XPath query is wrong.
2) My XML file doesn't really look like I think it does.
3) My code is wrong.
4) There is a bug in libxml2?
My guess the problem is with my code or my XPath query. Any ideas
anyone?
